“However, that depends on when you have the freedom.” Guo Songyang said, stroking his chin.
"Senior brother, you're too cunning," Cao Ya laughed.
"I can't help it either," Guo Songyang said, spreading his hands. "The names of you, my fellow disciples, and I are all on Lord Xihuang's Yangshen Ranking. After this great calamity, we will definitely have to go to heaven and won't be as free as we are now."
Xi Huang's control over the high-level Yuan Shen cultivators on the Yang Shen Ranking is generally not strict; he lets them go wherever they want without questioning them.
They only need to complete the tasks assigned by Xi Huang.
However, if the Tianhe Sword Sect's plan succeeds, it will help the Primordial Heavenly Demon Seal advance to the Illusion God level, becoming a powerful Earthly Cave Heaven magic weapon. In turn, it will take in a group of disciples and members of the Tianhe Sword Sect, and through intentional or unintentional calculations, allow Jiao Fei and the others to escape from the Seven Phoenix Realm and disappear into the cosmic star sea.
At that time, the Seven Phoenixes will be furious, and it is feared that the freedom of the Nascent Soul experts of the Heavenly River Sword Sect will be strictly restricted.
As the sect leader, Guo Songyang knew he had to do more for his disciples before being completely restricted.
Anyway, he's already on the Yang God Ranking, so there's no escaping him now.
It would be better to make the most of what you have and contribute once more.
Awaiting the great changes to come!
"Junior brother, your senses are much sharper than before," Guo Songyang praised. "Senior brother just arrived through the Mountain and River Cauldron and hasn't even shown himself yet, but you discovered him ahead of time."
"Just lucky," Cao Ya smiled.
"This is hardly a fluke! Junior brother, you're not being honest," Guo Songyang said, feigning displeasure.
But seeing how powerful Junior Brother Cao Ya had become, he was happy for him.
Even if one cannot successfully refine the Dao-Merging Primordial Spirit, it is still a tremendous gain to advance further, from the first level of Primordial Spirit Incarnation to the second level of Primordial Spirit Dharma Body.
Guo Songyang's ability to traverse the void is a supernatural power inherent in the Mountain and River Cauldron.
This Mountain and River Cauldron is the treasure of the Heavenly River Sword Sect. It was acquired by Patriarch Guo Xiaoshan after receiving guidance from Patriarch Doufasheng and through careful planning.
The Mountain and River Cauldron is the thirty-third of the forty-eight innate pure yang treasures in the universe. It comes with four innate divine restrictions and possesses a great supernatural power—the [Nine Cauldrons Yin-Yang Shifting Technique].
This is a pure Yang series.
Even if Guo Songyang only had one bite.
There are nine Mountain and River Cauldrons in total. Only when the nine cauldrons are combined into one can they form a powerful Pure Yang!
Each Mountain and River Cauldron has a spirit, and all of them are female. If one can win the heart of a woman, one can refine a Mountain and River Cauldron and become a part of the master of this innate pure yang treasure.
Of the nine Mountain and River Cauldrons, Patriarch Guo Xiaoshan obtained one, Patriarch Su Xiang obtained one, Sect Leader Guo Songyang obtained one, and then only Jiao Fei obtained one.
None of the others managed to win the heart of the spirit of the Mountain and River Cauldron.
As a pure Yang magic treasure, the spirits of the Mountain and River Cauldron are no different from humans; they also have their own joys, sorrows, loves, hates, and passions.
Winning the heart of one of them is not easy.
However, the nine women of the Mountain and River Cauldron are all siblings, born at the same time, and are sisters. But Master Guo Xiaoshan and Senior Brother Guo Songyang are actually father and son...
Hey, Master Guo Xiaoshan, Master Su Xiang, Senior Brother Guo Songyang, and Jiao Fei, the four of them are divided into three generations, unlike the Mountain and River Cauldron they wield, which has four women of the same generation, addressing each other as sisters...
The family hierarchy is completely messed up...
Forget it, this has nothing to do with me. I didn't refine any of the Mountain and River Cauldrons, and I have a magical artifact spirit as my Dao companion...
Cao Ya muttered to himself, feeling something was very strange.
In fact, several hundred years ago, as one of the second-generation disciples, he also went to a certain place for training with Guo Songyang and others.
In the end, Guo Songyang won the heart of a spirit from the Mountain and River Cauldron, while everyone else returned empty-handed.
Guo Songyang became the second-generation leader of the Tianhe Sword Sect only because he was the son of Guo Xiaoshan, the founder of the sect.
The Tianhe Sword Sect has a history of several thousand years, but currently it has only been passed down for three or four generations.
The first generation was Master Guo Xiaoshan, the second generation was Cao Ya, Guo Songyang and others, the third generation was Jiao Fei and others, and among the fourth generation of disciples, no primordial spirit appeared.
To cultivate a primordial spirit, or even an avatar, is no easy task.
It should be noted that the Seven Masters of Tongtian, who once listened to the teachings of the Ancestor of Fighting Magic, were all exceptionally talented and possessed unparalleled abilities. However, even so, only five of the Seven Masters of Tongtian cultivated their primordial spirits, while the other two had already passed away in the long river of time.
Even the most outstanding geniuses are like this. What hope do ordinary geniuses or common cultivators have of achieving a primordial spirit?
Among Cao Ya's generation of second-generation disciples, there are very few who have reached the Nascent Soul Realm; you could count them on one hand.
The emergence of each primordial spirit requires a combination of factors, including aptitude, comprehension, temperament, and opportunity.
It's not enough to meet one or two requirements; all of them must be met!
If you lack any one of these elements, it will be extremely difficult to cultivate a primordial spirit!
"Oh, right, junior brother, I forgot to tell you, Su Ganxiu, the disciple and son of Ancestor Su Xiang from beyond the realm, has also come to the Seven Phoenix Realm. According to the two ancestors' plan, they want to use his power to help the Primordial Heavenly Demon Seal advance to the Illusion God level. However, Junior Brother Su has now left the Tongtian River with Jiao Fei, Xu Qing, Pang Wei and the others, and is wandering around the land."
Guo Songyang suddenly spoke up, mentioning Su Ganxiu's matter, and informed Cao Ya:
"The great calamity has begun. Our Tianhe Sword Sect is in danger. I have arranged for many of our disciples and followers to follow Jiao Fei. They can use Lin Xiaolian's Primordial Heavenly Demon Seal to survive and avoid the calamity."
"Our sect's headquarters—Tongtian River—has now fallen into ruins, its thousand-year glory gone."
“Junior brother, after you descend to the mortal realm, you no longer need to go to the Tongtian River.”
Guo Songyang shook his head and sighed as he spoke.
Although he had long foreseen the decline of his sect in the Seven Phoenix Realm, he still felt complicated when the day actually came.
He assumed that Junior Brother Cao Ya had come down to the mortal realm because he was worried about the sect and wanted to go and help it, so he showed up and stopped Junior Brother Cao Ya.
In fact, Guo Songyang misunderstood. Cao Ya had complete confidence in the Tianhe Sword Sect!
Because he was aware of the plans of the two Dao-harmonizing masters, and also knew the fate of the Tianhe Sword Sect.
The Primordial Heavenly Demon Seal successfully advanced to the Illusionary God Magic Treasure, and Jiao Fei and the others also successfully escaped from the Seven Phoenix Realm. The branch of the Heavenly River Sword Sect in the Seven Phoenix Realm, while not completely intact, is about 70-80% unharmed, so there are no major problems.
There's absolutely no need to worry!
Cao Ya descended to the mortal realm to plot his ascension to the Dao.
He planned to rely on his own strength, emulate the Victorious Fighting Ancestor, forcibly break free from the Yang God Ranking, and step out of the Seven Phoenix Realm!
However, there's no need to go into details about this with Guo Songyang.
So he nodded to indicate that he understood.
"I also have some things to give to my senior brother," Cao Ya suddenly said, pointing a finger with magical power flowing through it, seemingly containing boundless knowledge.
Upon seeing this, Guo Songyang paused for a few moments, then his face lit up with joy as he said:
"Junior brother, is this the complete collection of the seventy-two true teachings you've gathered?"
Cao Ya smiled slightly:
"Not only that! My own method is also included."
